Dear All,

I am not familiar to Windows programming.
Is there any easy way to control LPT under Windows XP?
I intended to use LPT a I2C host to control my board.

You'll need to call upon a DLL or API with the approprriate procedure
to low level access the port . The one I used was from a rather excellent
book by Dan Appleman 'VB Programmers Guide to the Win32 API' which came
with a CD and included a DLL called apigid32.dll. I've never tried this
with XP though but there may be similar books/code out there for XP
 
Thanks Mark!!
